Do you have any idea as to who can follow you on the Facebook social media platform? I bet you don’t. You just see that you have followers on the platform and you think it’s alright. Well, it is but it is still great to know one or two things about the people following you on the platform.
Who Can Follow You on Facebook
On Facebook, when you become friends with a person, automatically they start following you. There is also a limit to the number of friends you can have on the social media platform. And when you have gotten to your limit, you can no longer accept friend requests or send friend requests to others on the platform.
You will either have to delete or trim your friend list on the platform or better still allow them to follow you. It is that simple. Another way of allowing people that are not your friends on the platform to follow you is by selecting the public option next to your post settings.
